A canção do senhor da guerra [English translation]

There's someone waiting for you

Who will buy your youth

And convince you to win

Another war without reason

Already so many children with weapons in their hands

But once again they explain that war creates jobs

And increases production

A war always accelerates technology

Whether it is holy war

Hot, warm or cold

Why export food

when weapons are more profitable?

There's someone who is counting on you

To fight in his place since, on this war,

it is not him who will die

And when far away from home

Injured and cold, the enemy you await

He will be with other old men

Inventing new war games

What beautiful scenes of destruction

We will not longer have issues

With overpopulation

Look at this beautiful uniform we made for you

And always remember, God is

On the side of those who win

The lord of war

Does not like children

(chorus)
